Ingredients
Whole Milk
One cup of your favorite plain yogurt
Half n' Half
Weapons
One big pot
A wooden spoon
Heating pad
Towels
A thermometer if you don't trust yourself
Method
Add whole milk to the pot. Use as much milk as you want yogurt.
Stir with wooden spoon over medium heat.
Remove from heat right as it begins to boil.
The temperature needs to come down to about 103 degrees. Here is when you can use the thermometer. I don't happen to have one, so for those of you in my shoes, it's easy to tell. When you can stick your fingers in the milk and it feels like jacuzzi temperature, you're golden. Not too hot, but not too cool.
Take your wooden spoon, scoop out two heaping scoops from your cup of plain yogurt, and mix in.
Pour in some half n' half.
Stop worrying about measurements, thermometer people.
Cover your pot, wrap it in a towel, set it on a heating pad on low on the counter, and wrap it up some more. The point is to keep it warm.
Don't touch, wiggle, or think about it for 18 hours.
After 18 hours, you will have a vat of plain yogurt.
Fruit-On-The-Bottom
Ingredients
Blueberries or any berry of your liking
Maple syrup
Method
Put berries in small pot with enough maple syrup to fully coat. I'd say about waist-deep.
Heat until berries start to break apart easily or burst.
Scoop mixture into jars and put homemade yogurt on top.
Enjoy!
Nicki I love this clever idea, I must try it!
